Abstract
A poorly drained Coachella Valley vineyard that suffered the loss of half its vines from salt damage has been reclaimed in six years by re-levelling the ground, changing the irrigation practices, and switching from the use of the highly saline Colorado River water to the use of a high-quality well water.
